I'm not sure how long ago this article was posted so maybe there is no one who will respond...but I will try anyways. I just finished building my own version of the aquaponics system and I was just wondering about root rotting. The system I just build has a constant flow of water and never completely drains..will this be a problem? Also the flow is not strong/fast enough that the bed is ever saturated to the top of the pebbles I put in, is that a problem either? Hope you can help!! Thanks, Cara Hi!!
